Trimmer House
Bed and Breakfast

Rated Three Diamonds by AAA, The Trimmer House Bed and Breakfast sits in the heart of New York's Finger Lakes Region in historic downtown Penn Yan, named one of the Top 100 Best Small Towns in America.

David Orville Trimmer, a wealthy wine merchant, built the classic Queen Anne home for his wife and daughters in 1891. More than a century later, Trimmer House owner Gary M. Smith, a professor of hospitality management at Keuka College, completed a no-expenses-spared restoration of the old home and opened its doors to travelers in 1997.

The Trimmer House's accommodations comprise four spacious guest rooms and a two-room suite. The suite and one of the guest rooms both have fireplaces. All of the accommodations offer private baths and are appointed with period pieces complementary to the furniture found throughout the home. Standard creature comforts include terry-cloth bathrobes, slippers, hair dryers, irons with ironing boards, cable television, and VCR and CD players. Each room also has two phone lines with modem ports.

A fireplace in the library invites you to curl up with a good book, and the warm jetted pulse of the Trimmer House hot tub will leave you no choice but to relax. For your listening pleasure, there's a music room, and all guests have access to a video library and a complimentary beverage service. Aside from modem ports, business travelers will appreciate the fax and copier service as well as the 12-seat Trimmer House conference room.

Each day you'll enjoy the Trimmer House's full gourmet breakfast; and for lunch and dinner, there are a variety of fine restaurants mixed in with all the shops and boutiques in downtown Penn Yan.

Private beach:
The Trimmer House Bed and Breakfast owns several hundred feet of private, secluded beach property on Seneca Lake (seen in photo to the left). Seneca Lake is located just 5 miles (or a 10 minute drive) from the inn. This property is available to our guests for their use to picnic or enjoy water sports. A sailboat and kayaks are available for rental.

The Trimmer House's premier downtown location places you within walking distance of Keuka Lake and the Keuka Outlet Trail, one of several nearby trails groomed for hiking. There are several bike trails and parks close by, and the Trimmer House Bed and Breakfast is just minutes away from local farmers markets and crafts stores, as well as the various wineries that make up the acclaimed Finger Lakes Wine Region.
